Social Media Tips
You can use your normal social media postings as opportunities to promote your virtual participation, activities, sessions you are interested in, or events you are attending. The more you post, the more attention you’ll bring to your participation, your booth, and AIHA Connect in general.
When posting on any social media channel about AIHA Connect (AIHA uses X (Twitter), Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram), use #AIHAConnect. Don’t forget to link back to the conference website, AIHAConnect.org. You may also include AIHA’s Twitter handle (@AIHA).

Please review the list of Official AIHA Connect Publications and Contractors before responding to any solicitations you may receive.
AIHA has learned of several fraudulent companies attempting to do business with AIHA Connect exhibitors.
PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAMS.
HOTEL ROOMS: AIHA/AIHA Connect will not contact you by telephone to make your hotel reservations.
Please be vigilant if dealing with companies or services – other than Maritz Global Events – that imply or claim an affiliation with AIHA Connect.
We have been made aware of other housing companies that may be aggressively pursuing you or your company to book your guest rooms through their company claiming “significant discounts” or “almost sold out statuses" at hotels. Unfortunately, some past attendees and exhibitors have fallen prey to these companies and have either lost their deposits, been relocated with little or no warning, not had the guest rooms they thought they had booked, or not received reservations at the hotel they had thought were confirmed. This has caused great hardships and significant financial loss to these companies and individuals.
Reservations made through an agency other than Maritz Global Events will be at your own risk.
ATTENDEE LISTS: Unfortunately, this sales tactic has become more common for association annual meetings and trade shows in recent years. Software programs "crawl" association websites to harvest usable email addresses, which scammers then contact.
AIHA neither sells its meeting registration lists nor authorizes any third party to distribute or sell AIHA Connect or other attendee lists related to any AIHA event. For AIHA's full privacy policy, visit Privacy Policy.
If you are contacted by a company claiming to have access to an AIHA Connect attendee list, do not respond to their message, even to "unsubscribe" to additional messages, as this informs the sender that your email address is active and will usually result in additional unwanted email.
